We are a week away from the start of the new Premier League season and according to Bransilav Ivanovic, it's going to be the toughest Premier League ever!

New big name signings, new big name Managers looking to take to the challenge for the first time and everyone with more money, looking to strengthen their squads, it's arguably the most exciting season ever on paper. Will it live up to expectations? Only time will tell but as far as Bransilav Ivanovic is concerned, the Chelsea players will be doing everything they can this year to put things right after a nightmare title defence last term.

He said:

“I think at the moment it is very dangerous to say anything about the future because we know how difficult the league is.

We have promised to ourselves to give everything in every game with this passion and style we can improve and we will improve. How far can we go? I think we have to go step by step.

This could definitely be the toughest Premier League ever. Every team is strengthening and every team, after last season when Leicester won, want to be better and be the new surprise.

Of course, the big teams want to be good again. So it’s going to be very exciting.

So we just have to go step by step and game by game and every game will be a different story for us.

If all our squad is on top of our performances we can go very high.

This is a new season and not everything can work perfect in the beginning, but the passion you see during the games you also see it in the training sessions as well.

The manager wants to put us together as a team to be strong, to be motivated and hungry for every second during the game, which is positive and good.

I think we are still adapting and we can improve as a team a lot.

I think we are going to play in a different shape and it is going to be different for us and for the opponents, and we will see. I hope we are on the good road.”

Ivanovic is right, it is going to be the hardest, toughest Premier League ever but I still believe that Chelsea will bounce back this year. The new Manager has made an impact already and if a couple of months down the line we click into exactly what he wants, we could become a hard team to beat and hopefully a team that scores plenty of goals.

Right now, it can go either way and I really believe that no-one has an out-and-out favourite to win the League this year. You'd be better off heading to the Sunbets Promotion Code to spend your money rather than try to predict what is going to happen.

Chelsea have made excellent signings and now look like keeping hold of Diego Costa which is an added bonus. I really believe that we will finish well inside the top four but to challenge for the title? I am not so sure.

What do you think and do you agree that this year will be the toughest EVER?
